Felicity On The View….

Tuesday, October 7th, 2008

Good morning, everyone!! Now that we’re a couple of episodes in, Felicity Huffman joined the ladies of the View for a chat yesterday. I think I may have tuned in after it had started. What I saw was her talking a little bit about the new season and the mid-life crisis Tom is on the verge of. There wasn’t a whole lot given away about the show, so that was pretty good.

Mainly, as seems to be the case on the View, she talked about herself and stuff she’s doing personally. They showed an absolutely adorable picture of Felicity with a dog her family had adopted that looked like a Black Lab, but she described as a mutt. She’s actually involved with this great project that is sponsered by Iams. It’s called Home For the Holidays. Basically, their goal is to get 1 million dogs and cats placed in good homes during the October-January holiday season. If you’re interested in finding out more and maybe adding to your family, check here. I think this is one of my favorite causes the ladies of Wysteria Lane have been involved in.

During her visit, they also talked about her kids. Basically, She’s dreading the day they become teenagers and she’s dealing with the misery Lynette faces each day (the kids are currently both under 10). Whoopie started messing with her a bit, telling her that from the age of about 12 until they hit around 20, Felicity will never be right and constantly ignored. Overall, Felicity came off pretty good in it and looked great. And she, thankfully, didn’t share any scary stories along the lines of the Madonna underwear thing she talked about in More Magazine. Keep it up, girl! If you wanna see a more complete recap of the appearance (and the whole show in general), I point you to my fellow blogger Winnie McCarthy’s post on it.

Finally… as promised, here is a little more detail on the scene with Karl… Susan comes home from a talk with Mike to find Karl and Jackson chatting it up. she walks him out, asking him what he’s doing here… apparently, he had to come sign some papers for Julie. He then teases her about dating a plumber and a painter, adding “just think, If I’d been a roofer, we might still be together.” As an added bonus, check out this scene, where Mike and Jackson first run into eachother:

Well, that’s about it for now. Take care and I’ll see y’all next time with some great quotes and other stuff.

TV Time…

Friday, September 19th, 2008

Good morning everyone!! Can you believe it’s Friday finally? Pretty soon, we’ll all be heading out of the office and off to do our own thing for a couple days. In case you need a little help getting through those last few hours, though, check this out:

The Housewives are over all TV as always in roles from before they were on the show. One of them is “Living in Fear” with Marcia Cross. She plays a woman that travels with her husband to his hometown, only to discover he’s got some secrets. But then again, this is a Lifetime movie so what else were you expecting? Seriously, though? I love these things. They’re so cheesy and bad at times, they’re good. If you wanna check it out, set those VCS or DVRs! It airs on the 22nd at 3:50 PM on Lifetime Movie Network.

Speaking of Lifetime movies… here’s a good one for you: “Baby For Sale”. It features Dana Delany in a story about a couple who end up mixed up with baby brokers. From what I remember, it’s not that old of a movie, either and is also available on DVD. It airs on Lifetime at 1PM on the 22nd.

I know Lifetime movies aren’t everyone’s thing. If you’re more a Sci-Fi fan, check out the repeats on X-Files airing on the 24th at 4PM on the Sci Fi channel. It features Felicity Huffman as a guest star. Not sure what role she’s playing, but this should be interesting.

Well, that’s it for now. Take care and I’ll see y’all again on Monday. And don’t forget, there’s only 10 more days until the Season 5 premiere on ABC. Also, the Housewives will be appearing on the Emmy Awards on the 21st. To tide you over, here’s a sneak peak that’s been released:

And the Winner is….

Thursday, September 18th, 2008

Felicity, Felicity, Felicity… I’m trying to maintain the love. Really, I am. But you’re making it pretty hard. I recently saw a quote from here where she repeats Eva’s “not pregnant, just fat” line. Now, I know constant rumors about females being pregnant probably get a bit annoying in Hollywood. After all, it’s a woman’s business when she decides to announce her pregnancy, or even if she makes an announcement at all. Still, wasn’t there a better answer than this? Let me repeat what I said when Eva said this before: Eva Longoria is not fat. Even with the extra weight, she’s not even in the same universe as fat. In a world where the 90210 girls are supposedly having an intervention for being way too skinny and actresses are constantly dropping pounds until they resemble skeletons, we really shouldn’t be throwing comments around like that, even as a joke. How about a simple “not pregnant and that’s the last time this is being discussed” instead, hmm? Or just don’t respond to the questions at all. That’ll really drive the reporters nuts.

Ok, I’m stepping off the soapbox now. Sorry about that… the issue just really bugs me. In better news, guess who won at the Creative Arts Emmys? Kathryn Joosten! She won the award for “Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy”. Congrats to her!! She definitely deserves it. I love her portrayal of McClusky… I think she makes her more sympathetic or likeable then the character might normally be. Even in Karen’s earlier, grumpier days. Well, I guess that’s about it for now. See y’all next time with more dish about our favorite show. Take care!

Awards Talk

Friday, August 22nd, 2008

Good morning, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well this morning and ready for some more good news about our favorite show. Remember awhile back when Desperate Housewives didn’t get much love from the Emmys? Well, that’s about to change some. Marcia Cross, Dana Delany, Felicity Huffman, Eva Longoria, Teri Hatcher and Nicollette Sheridan are scheduled to take part in the show. They’ll be presenting something together during the ceremony.

There’s no word on what category or segment the girls are scheduled for, but here’s what is known. The show is going to air live on September 21st on ABC. It will be held at the NOKIA Theatre in LA and air from 8 to 11 PM eastern time. For those of you who were paying attention, that’s only one week before the new season starts. Not a bad way to kick things off, huh?

Eva and Teri have both had some awards show experience lately. Eva produced and hosted the ALMAs and Teri took part in the TV Land Awards over the show’s hiatus. Speaking of Eva at the ALMAs…. did anyone see pictures of the event? It’s insane…. she must’ve had about 10 costume changes during the night. I posted one of them yesterday. Here are a couple more:

Here’s one of my favorite dresses she wore. What can I say? I love simple black dresses. There’s a reason these never go out of style.

And this one shows Eva performing onstage during the event with Taboo of the Black Eyed Peas. I love the expressions on their faces… they look like they’re having the time of their lives. Well, I’d better be going now. Catch y’all again on Monday with new news and recaps. Have a great weekend!

Felicity The Desperate Houswife or Eva Hates Kissing

Thursday, August 21st, 2008

So, we’ve been having a lot of talk about Felicity lately on the blog. Get ready to hear one more story (I’ll move on to someone else in a minute… I promise!) Felicity recently gave an interview to the New York Daily News where she discussed how she got her part on the show. For anyone who might not know, Felicity was frazzled herself with three kids. She had gone straight from dealing with two screaming ones to her audition. She apparently looked bad enough that the producers thought she was the one right away. She adds that when she admitted some less than wonderful feelings about motherhood, many of the women around “pulled back from me as if I said ‘I eat babies’.” Nice, huh?

Now, as promised, let’s move on. This time, there’s a story out on Eva Longoria. She admits that she hates kissing scenes in her shows and movies. She hates the idea of kissing a man who’s not her husband so much, so tries to talk directors into letting her character hug someone instead. They, of course, don’t go for it. She says that her on-screen husband feels the same way about kissing scenes. Must make for some awkward moments on set. On a related note, it’s hard to believe it’s been a year now since she and Tony Parker were married. Time flies, huh?

Well, that’s about all for today. I’ll see you guys tomorrow, as always, to dish some more about our favorite show.

The Good, The Bad and the TMI

Monday, August 18th, 2008

Good morning, everyone!! I’ve got some good news and some disturbing news to share. Let’s start with the disturbing and get it over with, shall we? Now, I adore Felicity Huffman. I’m sure y’all can tell from some of my other posts. Well, that love has now been questioned thanks to a story she told in More magazine. (By the way… does anyone get that? Or even seen one? If you do, she’s on the new cover as well as having an interview. Any sharing if you do have it would be greatly appreciated). According to excerpts of the interview, Felicity admitted to trying on a pair of thongs that belonged to Madonna when she started the show Speed the Plow back in the late 80s.

I don’t know whether to be sick or laugh. I’m amazed she’d share that info. I think that’s something I’d keep to myself. In better news, the rest of the interview apparently has much more interesting and less disturbing content. Check it out! She looks really great on the cover picture, by the way.

In even better news, ABC is getting ready for the new season! They had announced Desperate Housewives was going to get some great promo this year, and they’re sticking with it! The website’s been redesigned with a new promo pic. I kinda like the new poster/pictures. Very simple and they all look great! My one beef is that Katherine was not included. She is, after all, part of the regular cast now and apparently going to their poker games. Ah, well. Maybe she’ll be included later on in some materials.

Well, that’s about it for now. I leave you with a promotional video from Youtube. Enjoy and see you tomorrow, storm-willing. We may or may not be getting a hurricane sometime over the next day or two.

What I See or Press Time!

Monday, July 14th, 2008

Good morning! After seeing a preview last night for the new season showing the gang 5 years later, I got to thinking about what the future might hold for some other current and former residents….

Betty Applewhite is still living in Chicago and ends up meeting a famous media mogul named Karen who once lived on the Lane. Once they discover this common link, they bond over how insane everyone there is and become best buddies. Betty even gets to be on TV with her as a sidekick.

After having framed Paul for her murder, Felicia is still living it up in her quiet cabin where she regularly reads papers to keep up with what’s going on on the Lane. After finding out Paul was paroled, she hires someone to track him down and, being the crazy woman she is, follows him and continues to drive him crazy from a distance. She does such a good job, he eventually gets dragged into a mental hospital ranting about the “dead” woman who is harrassing him. Felicia is finally satisfied.

Mrs. McClusky, having had enough of the Scavo kids bad behavior, quits as their babysitter and moves to a beach house in Florida. After enduring a few hurricanes, she decides the Scavo kids are a better alternative and rushes back.

Danielle decides to cash in on her mom’s newfound fame by threatening to write a tell-all book unless Bree agrees to keep her in designer clothes and jewelry. Bree enlists Karl to go and issue yet another smackdown and Danielle drops the whole thing.

Speaking of Karl… he’s still with Ms. Perfect and continues to push Susan’s buttons and make her feel like a loser. Little Maynard miraculously has survived to see his school years despite Susan’s klutziness and has already started to assume the “Julie” role.

So what do you all think is in store for these and other characters we’ve seen over the years? Share your thoughts in the comments… I’d love to see. In other Housewives news, Marc Cherry will be participating in a panel discussion during the TCA Summer Press Tour. That will be held on the 17th at 2PM. A Desperate Houswives Panel featuring Felicity, Teri, Eva, Marcia, Nicollette, Dana and Marc will be held the same day at 5PM. As details are released, I’ll be sure to share! By the way… the Emmy nominees will be announced that same day at 5AM. Good luck to the cast!

I’ll leave you today with a look at a fan-made promo courtesy of Youtube. It’s kinda cool and should tide us over a bit until the official ones start coming out. I saw one last night and it looked good, but isn’t available anywhere. Based on it, though, I think this new season is gonna be good. The cast has obviously been hard at work to have a promo ready this fast. Well, that’s all for now. See ya next time!

One Charitable Cast

Monday, July 7th, 2008

Hey, Housewives fans! I hope you guys had a great weekend and are as ready as I am to get back to talking our favorite show. First, I just want to say thanks to everyone who’s posted a comment lately and I look forward to getting to chat some more. Now… let’s dish, huh?

It’s been pretty quiet on the Housewives front the past few days. Hopefully that will start changing soon as the cast is scheduled to start filming today. Still, there are a couple of things going on. First off, continuing the Housewives tradition of getting involved in good causes, Teri Hatcher recently made a trip to Tanzania with her daughter to benefit Americashare. During their two week stay, the pair kicked off a penpal exchange with Emerson’s school as well as dropping off over 30 grand in supplies and donations. Talk about a productive trip! Americashare helps people in the area who are suffering from poverty as well as HIV/AIDS.

Teri isn’t the only do-gooder on the cast, though. Eva and Felicity, along with many other celebs, have come together in support of the “Burma- It Can’t Wait” campaign. The organization is working to secure the human rights of the people of Burma as well as its jailed would-be leader, Aung San Suu Kyi. Check out a video that features many celebs, including Felicity. You can see more with her and Eva on the organization’s website.

On a lighter note, don’t forget to catch Ricardo on George Lopez if you haven’t seen it already. It will air on Nick at 10 PM on July 9th. I know I’ll be there! Well, I guess that’s about all for today. I wanna leave you with yet another video for anyone who may not have gotten to see this the first time around. It’s Teri Hatcher and Banned from TV performing “Before He Cheats” on Idol Gives Back. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by her performance. What do you all think? Til next time… take care!

Catching Up…

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008

Hello, out there! There is so much to catch up on in my absence, I barely know where to start! I guess let’s get the latest out of the way, shall we? First all, there’s Felicity Huffman. She’s going to be one of the lucky few to get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2009. Each year, 25 people in all are scheduled to get one, including John Stamos (Full House/ER), William Petersen(CSI) and Harry Shearer (The Simpsons). Go her… this seems to be a big year for her getting honors. Not only did she get that award at the Maui Film Festival, she’s also been put on the Emmy short list.

Speaking of the Emmys… Desperate Housewives was not put on the short list for best series, so there will be no nod for the show this award season. However, Felicity, Marcia Cross and Eva Longoria were. Very notably missing is Teri Hatcher. The ladies will be going against Tina Fey, America Ferrera, Christina Applegate, Mary-Louise Parker, Sarah Silverman, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Anna Friel for a nomination and possible Emmy win. Good luck to the Wysteria gang… they had a great year.

eva-and-tony-at-hancock-premiere.jpgFinally, my childhood is getting defiled more each day. Remember Mario Lopez from Saved by the Bell? Well, he wants you to! The former Saturday morning star who is now more famous for his womanizing and not-so-nice ways has struck again! This time, he’s talking to the press about how he is upset he and Eva Longoria never got together. He said they have known each other for years, but never hooked up because they were never both single at the same time. Like that’s stopped him before… He goes on to say that he’s jealous of Tony Parker and he’s a “lucky guy”. Ain’t he a peach? I wonder how Mr. Parker feels about this sudden development.

Well, I’m out of here. I’ll be back with some casting tidbits later. For now… take care!

Aloha!

Monday, June 16th, 2008

Good morning, everyone! Well, it’s Monday and you know what that means. No, I’m not talking about heading back into the office. I mean, it’s time to dish about our favorite show! I hope you all had a great weekend and you’re ready to get down to business. I know I am!

felicity-and-william.jpg

First off, Marcia, Eva and Teri aren’t the only ones who have been out and about lately. Felicity Huffman traveled to the Islands to attend the 2008 Maui Film Festival. She was on hand to accept the Nova award in honor of her many TV, film and theatre roles. She also screened her latest movie, Phoebe in Wonderland. Felicity plays the mother of a young girl who has trouble following rules. That wasn’t all, though! Felicity also managed to squeeze in some fun in the sun with her husband and daughters. Gotta love the Macy family. They’re definitely on my list of favorite celebs for being so low-key and normal.

Anyway…. on another part of the Islands, a local TV station gave us some insight into one of the newest cast members: 6-year-old Kaili Say, who plays one of Gabby’s daughters. Kaili and her 10-year-old sister, Brandi, had spent months in LA doing print work in addition to small acting jobs and were about to go back home when the word came Kaili had won the part. Needless the say, the family has decided to stay put. Good luck to the Say family! It can be hard to be a kid in Hollywood.

Finally, Dana Delaney revealed in a recent interview that, barring an actor’s strike, the cast will be returning to work on July 7th. I was surprised to learn that Marc Cherry actually filled her in on what was up with her mystery before hand. I thought he was pretty secretive about that kind of stuff. She also assured all the Edie fans out there Nicollette will be back. Good to know Edie really does still have a place on the show. She’s fun.

Well, that’s all for now. Stay tuned throughout the week for any breaking news, recaps and other stuff. Take care and see ya next time!

TV Watch…

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008

Good morning, everyone! I thought today I’d fill you in on where you can see some of the cast on TV. Most of the main housewives have appearances coming up.

First off, let’s talk Teri Hatcher. Tuesday, June 10, you can see her on VH1’s “The Fabulous Life Of…” series. That comes on at 2AM eastern, so set those VCRs! If you’re looking for something more kid-centric, tune into Toon Disney on the 11th at 5 PM and 7:30 PM eastern to see Spy Kids. Finally, tune into Sci Fi channel on June 14th to catch her in Momentum. It’s about some men stealing cars using the power of telekinesis. Teri plays an FBI agent on the case who doesn’t buy into the supernatural thing. Set those VCRs if you’re not a night owl, though. It airs at 3 AM.

Felicity Huffman is in a couple movies on TV as well. First up is Georgia Rule, which airs on HBO East tonight at 8 PM. It will also air June 14th at 4 in the morning. She plays Lindsay Lohan’s alcoholic mother in the film. She’ll also be in Raising Helen, where she plays a woman who dies in a car accident, leaving her sister to raise her children. That will air on AMC at 10:30 PM, June 10th.

Finally, there’s Andrea Bowen. She stars in the Lifetime movie Girl, Positive on June 11th at 9 PM. In the movie, she plays a teenager who discovers she’s been infected with HIV. Warning to you viewers out there… it’s filmed in a kind of odd way with IM windows, computer cameras and all delivering some of the action. If you’re easily bothered by the fast-paced MTV-style filming, you may have issues with this one. Still, it’s a pretty decent story and Andrea does well in it. Check out this clip below to get a taste of the movie.

Well, that’s all for now. Til we meet again, take care!

This and That

Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008

Good morning, everyone! I’ve got some news to share, but first things first. I was browsing youtube when I came across a clip from season one, episode 11 (”Move On”). For anyone who can’t see the clip properly, let me set the scene….

Susan, Karl, Mike, Julie and some of her friends are at a karaoke bar, watching Julie and a couple other girls sing. As Julie and the girls decide to leave and go check out a dance floor on the second floor, Edie shows up. Needless to say, Susan is not very happy. Karl tells her if she can bring Mike, he can bring her. Edie is called and she gets up to sing “I’ve Never Been to Me”. When she gets back, she ends up blabbing about a drunken kiss and she Karl had shared a few years before. Susan, who is obviously mad about this, gets called up to sing and she ends up losing it right in the middle of her song.

What makes the scene for me is Teri’s delivery of her rant against Karl in between the lyrics of “New York, New York”. She manages to do it all without missing a beat and I love that Teri isn’t afraid to look silly for the sake of a good bit. Here it is:

In other Housewives news, we have a reunion of the moms in the works. Leslie Ann Warren, who played Susan’s mother, is now playing the lead character’s mom on the new USA series In Plain Sight. Nichole Hiltz, who was Lily’s birth mother on Housewives, will be playing the lead’s sister. Kinda cool, huh? It’s a show about a woman who works for the witness protection program.

Finally, Felicity Huffman also has a new part in the works. She’s signed on to star in a movie version of the British miniseries The Politician’s Wife. It’s about a woman who plots her revenge after her husband has an affair. Hmm… sounds a bit like Lynette to me. She did make threats before about what she’d do if Tom ever strayed. Well, that’s about all for now. Take care and I’ll see you next time!

Desperate Beginnings

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

pilot-group-shot.jpg

Good morning, everyone! Today, I want to take you back to 2004 and the episode that started it all. The episode begins with Mary Alice Young doing a voice over about her day as a montage of her running errands and such plays. All of a sudden, it cuts to present time and Mary Alice pulls a gun out and shoots herself. The rest of the episode features each of her friends mourning her loss as they deal with their own problems.

Susan likes the new neighbor, Mike, but she’s too scared to ask him out. Her daughter manages to talk her into it, but by then Edie has already set her sight on him as well. And so starts a rivalry we’ll see many times over the years. Susan discovers Mrs. Huber is watching Edie’s son because of a big date and fears the worst. She goes over under the pretense of borrowing sugar, but doesn’t get an answer. She walks in through a side door only to find clothes thrown about. This depresses her, so she sits down to grab some chocolate, tossing a bra over her shoulder. This hits one of the lit candles and starts a fire. Susan panics and runs, getting upset later when she learns the guy Edie was with got smoke inhalation. Her mood improves again when Mike shows up and she realizes he wasn’t Edie’s big date after all.

gabby-mowing-the-lawn.jpg

Gabby and Carlos spend much of the pilot bickering over a client of his that likes to touch Gabby’s butt, the gifts he buys and their gardener. It’s hard to believe these two end up turning out the way they did. Their arguing seems much nastier and with no humor to it in this one. It’s revealed after Carlos heads out to work that Gabrielle has been messing around with the gardener, hence the reason Carlos sees not much has been done to the lawn. He finally has enough one night when he sees the lawn hasn’t been mowed. Gabby tries to distract Carlos and get them out of there. Once they arrive at the party, Gabby makes sure Carlos is given plenty to drink so she can sneak out and mow the lawn herself, saving John’s job and her affair.

lynette-from-the-pilot.jpg

Lynette spends much of this episode dealing with her bratty kids while Tom is away on business. They cause trouble at the grocery store, at home, even at Mary Alice’s wake. At the wake, they all jump in the pool and refuse to come out, forcing Lynette to go in after them and drag them all out. Through all the trouble, Tom remains oblivious and even says they should “risk it” when Lynette asks him to use protection. That, of course, is met with a punch to the face by Lynette that puts an end to all the action that was about to happen.

bree-and-rex.thumbnail.jpg Finally, there’s Bree. The picture of perfection on the outside, but underneath she’s not happy. Her family is miserable, too. They’d rather have pork and beans than wait for her to take three hours to make some gourmet meal. Rex is so fed up with her focus on perfection, he tells her he wants a divorce while they’re out to dinner. Bree is shocked, but tries to brush it off and act like everything is fine. They are, after all, out in public. She’s so upset (though she won’t show it), she accidently puts onions in Rex’s salad, causing him an allergic reaction. While at the hospital, Rex finally lets it all out about how much he hates perfection and wants her to be more like she used to be. I personally have a hard time believing Bree ever burnt toast and was anything other than perfectly neat.

As the episode ends, all the women gather to help get rid of Mary Alice’s things. They end up finding a note in them saying “I know what you did. It makes me sick. I’m going to tell.” The camera pans away with all the women wondering what it means.

I love this episode. There were so many classic moments in it and everyone’s characters were introduced perfectly. I would say Lynette was probably the best, even though I loved everyone in this one. Felicity Huffman captures a tired, stressed-out mom wonderfully and who doesn’t love that scene of her dragging those kids out of the pool while trying to maintain some dignity? Well, that’s all for now. See y’all next time with more reviews, news and other stuff. For now, I leaves you with some great lines from the pilot. Enjoy!

“Carlos, who worked in mergers and acquisitions, proposed on their third date. Gabrielle was touched when tears welled up in his eyes. But she soon discovered that this happened every time Carlos closed a big deal.” - Mary Alice

“When Rex started going to those medical conferences, I wanted it in the back of his mind that he had a loving wife at home with a loaded Smith & Wesson.” - Bree

“Oh, please. The man’s gotten me pregnant three times in four years. I wish he was having sex with someone else.” - Lynette

Susan: So, is that your project for school? You know, when I was in fifth grade, I made the White House out of sugar cubes.
Julie: Stop stalling and go before Mike figures out he can do better.
Susan: Tell me again why I fought for custody for you.
Julie: You were using me to hurt dad.

Rex: I can’t believe you tried to kill me.
Bree: Yes, well, I feel badly about that.

The New Neighbor?

Monday, May 26th, 2008

Good morning, everyone. Hope you’re all enjoying the holiday weekend. Since we’re back to seeing reruns again, I thought I’d take some time to talk about the Season 1 DVD set for those who don’t have it. I got the chance to borrow it recently and I’m enjoying it a lot. It has, of course, all the episodes plus some great features. There are interviews, commentary, behind-the-scenes stuff and more.

dvd-cap.jpgOne of my favorite features is “Oprah Winfrey is the New Neighbor”. It’s a skit in which Winfrey plays Karen Stofer, a woman longing for a simpler life away from the big city and the pressures of a running huge company. Guess she didn’t check out the area carefully enough… Anyway, the skit briefly features the Housewives themselves introducing themselves to her. Once they leave, Karen decides to go to the store and get some sugar so she can make a special dessert in honor of their first night in a new home. Her husband talks her into borrowing some from the neighbors because “people in the suburbs live for that stuff.”

Oprah then goes on a mission to get sugar, getting spliced into scenes from the first season. She interacts with Susan after she was locked out of the house naked, watches Lynette yelling at the kids and other stuff. She runs home to tell her husband there is something very wrong with this neighborhood. Later, she goes on a walk and comes across a sight that causes her to demand they leave immediately.

I thought it was pretty amusing to see a relatively normal person getting thrown into the world of Wysteria Lane and realizing these people are seriously messed up… but isn’t that the fun of the show? Well, I’m out of here. There’s plenty more of the way this week, so stay tuned!

Desperate Housewives Out and About

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

Good morning, everyone! Later on today, I’ll be giving you the actor/actress of the week. For now? Let’s check it on where some of the cast has been showing up lately.

brenda-and-eva.jpg

This picture of Eva and Brenda was taken on April 28th. They were Events of the Heart’s “You Gotta Have Heart” premiere in Westwood, California. It’s always a bit surprising to me to see Brenda next to the other cast members, since she’s so much taller.

marcia-and-elizabeth.jpg How’s this for a random paring? That’s Elizabeth Berkley (yes, the chick from Saved by the Bell and Showgirls) chatting with Marcia during the Feed 100 reception at Whole Foods in LA. That took place just a few days ago, on May 19th.

Finally, Felicity Huffman was spotted at the Rogan for Target event at Barneys in Beverly Hills on May 15th. I gotta say that the filming break looks like it’s agreeing with everyone.

felicity-at-rogan-for-target.jpg

Andrea Bowen’s not just sitting around now that Julie’s on her way to college. Besides the album I mentioned a few posts back, she’s appearing in the play Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenaged Blockhead. It’s a twisted take on the Peanuts gang, where Andrea will be playing Charlie Brown’s sister. The show opens June 7th at Hudson Backstage Theatre in LA. She’s also considering an offer from Dancing with the Stars.

Are you fearless about spoilers and wanna hear some gossip about next season? Well, read on. (more…)
